FL: “Are you ready to find out what will happen to Inuyasha?” sitting beside Sessy on couch.
Sess: turns to Fluffy’s Lady. “So how will Dilynn kill the worthless hanyou?”
FL: gasp. “Dilynn doesn’t kill for fun! She said that in the story!” doorbell rings “Will you get it please, Fluffy?” smiling at Sessy.
Sess: going to door “Fine. WHAT THE?!”
FL: “Fluffy’s Lady–I love referring to myself like that–doesn’t own Inuyasha or anything relating to it except this storyline. But I do own all original characters! See ya!”
Sess: yelling “LADY!”
“What are you going to do with him?” Sesshomaru asked without moving.
“Wait and see. But first, scoot your paw to where it releases his sword but pins his legs. I’ll put mine to pin his arms in front of him. Kari, Casey,” Dilynn called, “come here please.”
“Yes?” they asked looking up at their cousin.
“I need you, Casey, to wake up the monk because I need him for what I have planned for Inuyasha,” Dilynn said.
“What are you going to do to Inuyasha?” Kagome asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, Kagome, I’m not going to hurt anything other than his pride,” Dilynn smirked. “So there’s no reason for you or the demon-slayer to interfere.” Turning to Kari, Dilynn said, “I need you to take Inuyasha’s sword from him, ok?” Kari nodded right before a loud SMACK echoed across the clearing. Everyone turned to look at an angry demon-slayer and a monk with a large red handprint on the side of his face.
“Owww,” the monk whined. “Lady Sango, what did you do that for?”
“You know perfectly well why, Miroku!” Sango shouted. Suddenly, she turned brick red. “Pervert!” she yelled as she raised her Hiraikotsu to strike the monk on the head.
When she tried to bring it down, though, it wouldn’t budge. Sango looked up. Dilynn stood above her, with the Hiraikotsu in her jaws. “I need him conscious,” she growled warningly.
Sango nodded, lowering her weapon.
“Don’t worry, once I’m through with him you can knock him out all you want,” Dilynn said brightly as she released Sango’s weapon. “Now, monk, come with me.”
They walked over to where Inuyasha lay yelling his head off and spouting obscenities.
“What do you need me to do, Lady Dilynn?” Miroku asked.
“I need you to cover Inuyasha in sutras so he can’t move,” Dilynn explained. “But let him still be able to speak.”
“What’ya gonna do to Inu-baka?” asked Shippo.
Dilynn smiled fondly at the kitsune kit. She kinda liked him. He seemed to feel the same way towards Inuyasha that she did.
“I’m not going to hurt him. Scare the mess out of him definitely, but not hurt him. Just watch, I’m sure you’ll get a good kick out of it,” she said.
Kari moaned. Dilynn turned and cocked her head at her cousin who was standing by Inuyasha. Sesshomaru still stood on top of him, though it was no longer necessary. Miroku had done an excellent job of incapacitating the hanyou. “I’m all right, Dilynn. It’s just all his yelling is giving me a headache,” Kari said, gesturing toward Inuyasha.
Dilynn nodded and turned back to Shippo. “Kit, would you like to help out?” she asked mischievously.
“What are you gonna do with me bi-“ Inuyasha started before Sesshomaru pressed down harder on him, making him cry out.
“Jip,” Dilynn snarled in his face. “I am a jip. I have never mated before so therefore I am a jip–not the other word. Got it?”
Inuyasha gulped. The whole time Shippo was laughing his head off at the folly of the half-demon.
“What was it you wanted me to do, Lady Dilynn?” he asked through the tears. “And my name is Shippo, by the way.”
Dilynn stood up and look at the kitsune hit, wagging her tail slightly. “I need you and Kari to tie Inuyasha’s hands and feet. Tie them to where five feet of rope extend from each end. They need to meet in the middle. Make sure the knots are good ones and won’t come undone. Okay? Let’s see how well you and Kari can tie,” she goaded.
“Sesshomaru, you can get off him now. He’s not going anywhere. You might as well lay down and rest while they tie him up. It’s probably gonna take a while,” Dilynn said. “Although I still want you in this form.”
Sesshomaru nodded and backed off of the hanyou, laying down by Rin and the trailer. The little girl was delighted to see her Lord in his true form. She went over to him and began to run her fingers through his fur.
Dilynn followed Sesshomaru and looked down at him when he lay down. Silently asking if she could lay with him.
“Yes,” he sighed.
Dilynn yipped in joy and lay down, snuggling close to him. She closed her eyes with a contented sigh, waiting for the fun to begin.
Casey saw the exchange between the two. Walking over, she asked Rin, “Would you like to help me find a hotspring so I can relax and wash my arm off?” She sent a heated glare to Kagome, who avoided her gaze.
“I would love to Casey!” Rin cried, taking the young woman’s good hand her own and starting to walk off.
“Hey,” Dilynn called, raising her head. “Do you want me to go with you?”
“No thanks, Dil, we’ll be just fine. Sango, will you please make sure Miroku doesn’t follow us?” Casey asked.
Sango looked over to Dilynn who nodded. “Gladly,” she smirked evilly and hit Miroku on the head with her weapon as he was trying to sneak away.
Dilynn heard Sesshomaru chuckle lightly at their antics. She turned to look at him. “Are you okay?” she asked nervously.
“I’m fine, why do you ask?” Sesshomaru asked in return.
“Well for the entire time I’ve known you, you’ve never laughed or smiled. Smirked–ya but never smiled or laughed. And twice today I’ve heard you chuckle!” she exclaimed.
“Do you not want me to laugh?” he asked.
“No! Not at all! I mean yes I want you to laugh. You seem nicer when you laugh–I like it. You should do it more often,” she explained ash she laid her head back down.
A moment later she felt Sesshomaru put his head on top of hers. She stiffened lightly, but relaxed when he chuckled softly.
For once Inuyasha was quiet even though his mouth was open. Kagome, Sango, and Shippo were equally shocked. Since when did Sesshomaru show affection to anyone? Casey and Kari traded conspiratorial smiles ands nods as Casey took Rin to the hotsprings.
“Milord! Lord Sesshomaru, what are you doing? She isn’t worthy of you!” Jaken squaked.
Sesshomaru snarled and snapped at Jaken. “I say who is and isn’t worthy of my affections.”
Jaken screamed in fear and ran off. Sesshomaru turned to look at Dilynn who, upon hearing Jaken’s words and feeling Sesshomaru pull away, had curled into a tight ball.
She looked back, cocked her head and asked in Dog, “Am I worthy of you?” She was scared of the answer.
“Yes, you are worthy,” he said in Japanese for all to hear. He licked her muzzle in a soft kiss.
Dilynn’s tail began to thump wildly against the ground, stirring up dust and choking everyone in the clearing. When she realized this she immediately stopped wagging her tail and looked away–abashed.
Sesshomaru chuckled lightly at this. Dilynn turned back around to look at him only to be met with another kiss-like lick. If she were human she would have blushed. She still felt the heat though and looked away.
Sesshomaru wasn’t about to let it go at that, though. He got up and walked over to where Dilynn had turned her face and licked her muzzle again. He was surprised when Dilynn turned and licked back.
By this time Kari had covered Shippo’s eyes and, at the hotsprings, Casey had done the same to Rin.
“Are you two through? Because if not, we’ll certainly wait while you get a room,” Kari jibed.
This made Sesshomaru laugh a full hearted laugh, shocking everyone beyond belief. Everyone except Dilynn who quickly joined in with him.
Just wait until Casey hears about this, Kari thought. She’ll be so upset she wasn’t here to see this.
But what Kari didn’t know was that Casey could see and hear most of what was going on. What she did see pleased her. It wont’ be long now. It just needs to simmer until it comes to a boil, she thought.
Once everyone had calmed down from the scene, Dilynn relaxed and layed down. Sesshomaru curled around her and Dilynn sighed in great pleasure.
A few minutes later–a very short few minutes for Dilynn–Shippo came over to her. “Lady Dilynn, we’ve got Inuyasha all tied up now! He’s ready for whatever you’re gonna do to him!”
“Great!” Dilynn barked. “Oh, this is going to be so much fun!” she said, walking over to the foul-mouthed Inuyasha. “Well, fun for me at least. You might have some fun but that all depends on you.”
“What are you gonna do with me?” Inuyasha growled.
“I thought we already went over this? I said just wait and see, or, in your case, feel,” Dilynn smirked. It was so much like Sesshomaru’s that it made a shiver run down Inuyasha’s spine.
Bending down, Dilynn grabbed the rope in her jaws. Standing up, she began to twirl it in the air.
“Round and round it goes!” she cried through clenched teeth, “were it stops, nobody knows!” With that she let go of the rope, which had built up considerable speed by then. The Inuyasha-rope went flying off behind Dilynn, toward the hotsprings where Casey and Rin were.
The two girls had just finished up a relaxing soak in the springs and were getting dressed when they heard a scream.
“Aaaahhhh!”
They looked up to see Inuyasha hurtling towards the spring they had just exited. It looked like he was going to land in the spring.
Suddenly, an enormous figure eclipsed the sun and, jumping over the two girls, grabbed Inuyasha’s ropes.
Rin gave a small squeal of fear.
“It’s okay, Rin. It’s just Dilynn playing with Lord Sesshomaru’s half-brother,” Casey explained.
When Dilynn heard Rin’s small squeal of fear, it nearly broke her heart to have the small child afraid of her. Walking over to her, Dilynn unceremoniously dropped Inuyasha with a loud thump!
“Don’t worry, Rin,” she said, gently nuzzling the small child. “It’s just me, I’m not gonna hurt you.”
The girl smiled and giggled at the enormous dog. “It’s okay, Dilynn. I just didn’t recognize you at first. I’m okay now,” she said.
Dilynn yipped in delight, picked up Inuyasha and ran back toward the clearing–throwing him in the air and catching him when he came back down.
When she arrived, Kari, Kagome, and the demon-slayer had made up and were chatting away, trying to find things they had in common.
Now if only Casey could be more forgiving, Dilynn thought. Growling playfully she shook her head vigorously–shaking Inuyasha vigorously as well. She walked over to Sesshomaru and dropped a very dizzy and slightly nauseous half-demon at his feet.
Looking a him, she asked, “Do you want to play with me?” She assumed the play position with her tail in the air and head on the ground.
“This Sesshomaru doesn’t play,” he said aloofly.
Dilynn wasn’t about to be put off though. “You’re just scared,” she teased.
“And what would I have to be scared of?” he asked cooly.
“That I would beat your sorry arse in any game you or I could think of!” she taunted.
“As if,” he scoffed.
Dilynn had enough. “Chicken!” she called trying to make chicken noises–that didn’t work too well. She switched to another tactic. “Coward!” she jeered.
Sesshomaru ignored all these calls. Dilynn knew they were getting to him, though, she could see his left eyebrow starting to twitch. She had him right were she wanted him.
Dilynn knew the exact phrase that would get him to play with her. Taking a deep breath, she yelled at the top of her lungs, “SCAREDY-CAT!”
Everyone was quiet, waiting to see what Sesshomaru would do.
He raised his head. “What did you call me?” the Taiyoukai asked evenly.
“You heard me, SCAREDY-CAT!” Dilynn called again.
With that, the chase was one. Sesshomaru lunged for Dilynn. She laughed and dodged, running for the grassy field where they had found Inuyasha–grabbing the hanyou’s ropes as she passed him by.
When they reached the clearing, Dilynn and Sesshomaru slid to a stop, circling each other. “Think fast!” Dilynn called, throwing Inuyasha towards Sesshomaru. (A/N: Inuyasha is never quiet. He may not have lines but he’s still got lungs!) Sesshomaru caught his half-brother without a second thought.
Dilynn was beside him in an instant. She grabbed onto the rope and started to pull. When Sesshomaru pulled back, she wagged her tail madly and growled playfully–giving the rope a sharp yank.
What am I doing?! Sesshomaru thought. I don’t play, I need to let go! But when he went to let go, his eyes locked with Dilynn’s. I can’t do it! he realized. I can’t let go! Not only can I not let go, but I don’t want to let go! And with that he bit down harder and pulled with all his might on the rope.
When Dilynn felt him loosen up his grip on the rope, she thought he was going to leave. But when she felt him bite down and pull, she became giddy with joy. So much so, that she lost her grip on the rope and stumbled forward–right into Sesshomaru.
When Sesshomaru felt Dilynn let go of the rope, he tossed Inuyasha over his shoulder. What he didn’t realize was that Dilynn had been pulled off balance by his playful tug.
Dilynn tried to catch herself, but it was no use. She plowed into Sesshomaru with a yelp and they went down in a tangled heap of legs and tails.
When the dust settled, Dilynn was on her back with her legs in the air. Sesshomaru was sprawled on top of her with his legs splayed out to either side and his muzzle inches from hers. Both were breathing heavily.
When they realized their position, neither moved for a minute. Sesshomaru was the first to do so. He moved slowly and maintained eye contact with Dilynn the whole time.
Dilynn slowly turned over on to her stomach and stood. Maintaining eye contact with Sesshomaru the whole time.
“Are you through?” Sesshomaru’s voice startled Dilynn, but not as much as the low tone in which he said it.
“What?” she asked before it dawned on her what he was talking about. “Yeah, I’m through with him,” but not with you she added silently, not knowing her eyes said it all.
Sesshomaru understood, though. Reverting to his human form, he released Inuyasha from his ropes with his whip. The ropes were the only things holding him because the sutras had worn off.
“I’ll kill you, darn it!” Inuyasha cried, leaping for Sesshomaru. He never made it though.
Dilynn knew the hanyou would try to kill Sesshomaru to try to heal his wounded pride. When Inuyasha lunged for Sesshomaru, Dilynn lunged for Inuyasha. Only one thought raced through her mind. She caught him in her jaws and clamped down with almost enough force to break the skin.
“Don’t even think about it, baka,” she growled dangerously. “I won’t hesitate to kill you if you try it. Don’t be foolish, it’s obvious you love the miko. If you want to tell her yourself I suggest you wizen up.” She threw him toward the clearing where he landed at Miroku, Kagome, Sango, Kari, Shippo and everyone else’s feet.
Dilynn turned back to Sesshomaru. He had somewhat of a scowl on his face. She slowly walked over to him and dropped to her belly at his feet.
“What’s wrong?” she asked cautiously.
“I could have handled it,” Sesshomaru said, sounding for all the world like a petulant child.
“I know,” she replied.
“Then why did you get in my way?” He was sincerely curious as to why she did it.
Dilynn turned her head away and mumbled something.
“What?” Sesshomaru asked.
Dilynn mumbled it again, only slightly louder this time.
Sesshomaru took a deep breath. “What did you say?” he asked, trying to maintain his cool.
“Because only one thought ran through my head so I obeyed it,” she tried to skirt the question she knew was coming.
“Oh? And what was this thought?” he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Dilynn mumbled something–again.
Once more, Sesshomaru took a deep breath. So they were back to this? “Come again?” his voice was softer this time. More open and inviting.
Dilynn took a deep breath and let it all out at once. “ICAN’TLETHIMHURTMYMATE!” she blurted. She would have turned a deep read if she was in her human state.
oooh! What will Sessy do with this new development? Sorry if the romance is moving to fast for you! Plz review! Thanx! Now to the rest of my reviewers:

Chapter 7: Shenanigans
Dilynn walked over to Sesshomaru. “I’ll take Inuyasha now,” she said in Japanese.“What are you going to do with him?” Sesshomaru asked without moving.
“Wait and see. But first, scoot your paw to where it releases his sword but pins his legs. I’ll put mine to pin his arms in front of him. Kari, Casey,” Dilynn called, “come here please.”
“Yes?” they asked looking up at their cousin.
“I need you, Casey, to wake up the monk because I need him for what I have planned for Inuyasha,” Dilynn said.
“What are you going to do to Inuyasha?” Kagome asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, Kagome, I’m not going to hurt anything other than his pride,” Dilynn smirked. “So there’s no reason for you or the demon-slayer to interfere.” Turning to Kari, Dilynn said, “I need you to take Inuyasha’s sword from him, ok?” Kari nodded right before a loud SMACK echoed across the clearing. Everyone turned to look at an angry demon-slayer and a monk with a large red handprint on the side of his face.
“Owww,” the monk whined. “Lady Sango, what did you do that for?”
“You know perfectly well why, Miroku!” Sango shouted. Suddenly, she turned brick red. “Pervert!” she yelled as she raised her Hiraikotsu to strike the monk on the head.

“Yes,” he sighed.
Dilynn yipped in joy and lay down, snuggling close to him. She closed her eyes with a contented sigh, waiting for the fun to begin.
Casey saw the exchange between the two. Walking over, she asked Rin, “Would you like to help me find a hotspring so I can relax and wash my arm off?” She sent a heated glare to Kagome, who avoided her gaze.
“I would love to Casey!” Rin cried, taking the young woman’s good hand her own and starting to walk off.
“Hey,” Dilynn called, raising her head. “Do you want me to go with you?”
“No thanks, Dil, we’ll be just fine. Sango, will you please make sure Miroku doesn’t follow us?” Casey asked.
Sango looked over to Dilynn who nodded. “Gladly,” she smirked evilly and hit Miroku on the head with her weapon as he was trying to sneak away.
Dilynn heard Sesshomaru chuckle lightly at their antics. She turned to look at him. “Are you okay?” she asked nervously.
“I’m fine, why do you ask?” Sesshomaru asked in return.
“Well for the entire time I’ve known you, you’ve never laughed or smiled. Smirked–ya but never smiled or laughed. And twice today I’ve heard you chuckle!” she exclaimed.

“Milord! Lord Sesshomaru, what are you doing? She isn’t worthy of you!” Jaken squaked.
Sesshomaru snarled and snapped at Jaken. “I say who is and isn’t worthy of my affections.”
Jaken screamed in fear and ran off. Sesshomaru turned to look at Dilynn who, upon hearing Jaken’s words and feeling Sesshomaru pull away, had curled into a tight ball.
She looked back, cocked her head and asked in Dog, “Am I worthy of you?” She was scared of the answer.
“Yes, you are worthy,” he said in Japanese for all to hear. He licked her muzzle in a soft kiss.
Dilynn’s tail began to thump wildly against the ground, stirring up dust and choking everyone in the clearing. When she realized this she immediately stopped wagging her tail and looked away–abashed.

A few minutes later–a very short few minutes for Dilynn–Shippo came over to her. “Lady Dilynn, we’ve got Inuyasha all tied up now! He’s ready for whatever you’re gonna do to him!”
“Great!” Dilynn barked. “Oh, this is going to be so much fun!” she said, walking over to the foul-mouthed Inuyasha. “Well, fun for me at least. You might have some fun but that all depends on you.”
“What are you gonna do with me?” Inuyasha growled.
“I thought we already went over this? I said just wait and see, or, in your case, feel,” Dilynn smirked. It was so much like Sesshomaru’s that it made a shiver run down Inuyasha’s spine.
Bending down, Dilynn grabbed the rope in her jaws. Standing up, she began to twirl it in the air.
“Round and round it goes!” she cried through clenched teeth, “were it stops, nobody knows!” With that she let go of the rope, which had built up considerable speed by then. The Inuyasha-rope went flying off behind Dilynn, toward the hotsprings where Casey and Rin were.
The two girls had just finished up a relaxing soak in the springs and were getting dressed when they heard a scream.

Dilynn tried to catch herself, but it was no use. She plowed into Sesshomaru with a yelp and they went down in a tangled heap of legs and tails.
When the dust settled, Dilynn was on her back with her legs in the air. Sesshomaru was sprawled on top of her with his legs splayed out to either side and his muzzle inches from hers. Both were breathing heavily.
When they realized their position, neither moved for a minute. Sesshomaru was the first to do so. He moved slowly and maintained eye contact with Dilynn the whole time.
Dilynn slowly turned over on to her stomach and stood. Maintaining eye contact with Sesshomaru the whole time.
“Are you through?” Sesshomaru’s voice startled Dilynn, but not as much as the low tone in which he said it.
“What?” she asked before it dawned on her what he was talking about. “Yeah, I’m through with him,” but not with you she added silently, not knowing her eyes said it all.
Sesshomaru understood, though. Reverting to his human form, he released Inuyasha from his ropes with his whip. The ropes were the only things holding him because the sutras had worn off.
“I’ll kill you, darn it!” Inuyasha cried, leaping for Sesshomaru. He never made it though.
Dilynn knew the hanyou would try to kill Sesshomaru to try to heal his wounded pride. When Inuyasha lunged for Sesshomaru, Dilynn lunged for Inuyasha. Only one thought raced through her mind. She caught him in her jaws and clamped down with almost enough force to break the skin.
“Don’t even think about it, baka,” she growled dangerously. “I won’t hesitate to kill you if you try it. Don’t be foolish, it’s obvious you love the miko. If you want to tell her yourself I suggest you wizen up.” She threw him toward the clearing where he landed at Miroku, Kagome, Sango, Kari, Shippo and everyone else’s feet.
Dilynn turned back to Sesshomaru. He had somewhat of a scowl on his face. She slowly walked over to him and dropped to her belly at his feet.
“What’s wrong?” she asked cautiously.
“I could have handled it,” Sesshomaru said, sounding for all the world like a petulant child.
“I know,” she replied.
“Then why did you get in my way?” He was sincerely curious as to why she did it.
Dilynn turned her head away and mumbled something.
“What?” Sesshomaru asked.
Dilynn mumbled it again, only slightly louder this time.
Sesshomaru took a deep breath. “What did you say?” he asked, trying to maintain his cool.
“Because only one thought ran through my head so I obeyed it,” she tried to skirt the question she knew was coming.
“Oh? And what was this thought?” he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Dilynn mumbled something–again.
Once more, Sesshomaru took a deep breath. So they were back to this? “Come again?” his voice was softer this time. More open and inviting.
Dilynn took a deep breath and let it all out at once. “ICAN’TLETHIMHURTMYMATE!” she blurted. She would have turned a deep read if she was in her human state.
